"Doing business with Goods Electric•Heating•Air was the best experience. This site would not allow for 5 STARS which is what GOODS deserves. This company and staff exceeded expectations. The staff worked diligently to ensure I was engaged in every step of the process. The communication, the team’s cohesiveness provided me with being a participant in this project. It was seamless from start to finish. The skill set of each team member enhanced the other. They use the best products which are highly rated, effective and efficient. Within a short time span the difference in my home was apparent. Their goal is 100% customer satisfaction. Indeed, I was 100% satisfied. The culmination of this excellence was in the masterful craftsmanship and skill of the two installers, Corey and Julian. I was present during the almost nine hours of their labor as they worked inside and outside. Their commitment to excellence, their expertise, their adherence to every detail, their focus, and their interlocked communication was something to watch unfold. Equally noteworthy was their patience and dedication in making sure the final product eas perfection. It was. After they were finished I was walked through everything they had done and given a master class in the operation of my new air condition system. 5 STARS for this excellent company and remarkable staff. I am grateful and appreciative. Time and money well spent. Thank you so very much. Carol"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on generator type, labor, and additional wiring or transfer switch requirements.

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

With proper maintenance, a whole-house generator can last between 20 and 40 years. The specific lifespan depends on how often and for how long the generator is used, and some models may have their life expectancy rated in hours of operation. To maximize its lifespan, expect to spend around $150 to $300 per year for annual maintenance checks from a qualified technician. During these checks, a technician will inspect the engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels. Consulting your installer and choosing a low-impact fuel like natural gas or diesel can also help ensure your generator lasts as long as possible.
